I received lovely fqs from NancyW. I pm'd her a big thanks! She should've received mine, but I haven't heard.
My dh fell at work towards the end of his 4-midnight shift a week ago (4-5). It was raining, windy, cold..He broke his his femur. At the ER a week ago they did CT scan and xray, said no break, sent us home. Well he hobbled about on it for 4 days until I insisted on an MRI, as I knew something was wrong, and my dh is not a complainer...
2 hrs after MRI we were at the Orthopedic Surgeon's. He was astonished and unhappy about it all. He immediately admitted us to hospital, put hubby to bed rest to decrease chance fracture would displace more until he could operate.
Surgery Thursday evening, hubby has a titanium rod and screws in place now. Officially called an Intramedullary Femoral Nailing.
We came home last night. Hubby is hanging in there. My Mom's feet were swollen, her breathing terrible, so started her on COPD exacerbation protocol here at home.
My Lupus started flaring (expected with everything). I got dh and Mom settled in their rooms, started laundry, sat down alone and had a good cry...
Thanks for listening, and any prayers are appreciated.
